2026 Architecture Salary Survey

Specialist architectural and design recruitment consultancy 9B Careers are carrying out their annual salary survey.

As we enter the final quarter of 2026, it’s a good time to take stock of what has been another eventful year for the architectural job market.

We’ve seen job losses at some larger practices, particularly those exposed to international projects. At the same time, demand has remained strong for people with UK Building Regulations and Stage 4 experience, as well as those working in high-end hospitality and interiors.

So, what has this mixed picture meant for salaries?

To help us build an accurate picture of pay across the profession, we’ve just launched our annual Salary Survey.

It’s completely confidential and takes just a minute to complete. We’ll share the results with participants by email once the report is ready.
